Chapter 203 Overtime

The referee quickly ran over to separate Xia Qi and the two, but did not draw a card. First, their actions were not dangerous, and second, they were both very important to the team. A yellow card would have too much impact on overtime.

The referee doesn't want to be the turning point of the game himself!
He just verbally warned Shaggy not to provoke opponents... Arsenal fans booed Shaggy wildly, while AC Milan fans called Shaggy's name enthusiastically.

Some people say that football is a war, and it really does look like this.

In the live broadcast room, Noy shouted frantically: "You can always trust Xia Qi! He is worthy of our trust."

beep!
The referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game.

The two sides fought to a 2:2 tie in the regular game!
They only have 5 minutes of rest in overtime.

In such a short time, neither party returned to the lounge.

The team doctors and physical therapists of the two teams are taking the time to massage the players and relax their muscles.

At the same time, the two young marshals of the young and strong faction each held a whiteboard to lay out new tactics and boost morale at the same time.

Emery finally made a substitution, Willock replaced Ozil, Iwobi replaced Torreira, Guendouzi replaced Monreal, and used up all three substitutions in one go.

Gattuso asked several veterans, and got a reply that he could still run 15 kilometers.

Of course, this is impossible, even for someone with cheats like Xia Qi, let alone ordinary people.

The 90-minute game consumes a lot of physical energy of the players. It is almost to the critical point of the players, but no one in AC Milan wants to be a deserter.

Gattuso looked at the crooked melons on the bench and thought about physical fitness, which is sometimes as crowded as a woman's ru-/-groove.

In the end, I chose to believe that the players did not make substitutions.

When the game was about to start, Gattuso looked at the players surrounding him: "I am proud of you, you are all fighters of AC Milan, you have done a particularly good job, I can't ask for more, I will always stand here and fight with you until you throw me up with victory!"

"Boss, don't be so scared and yell!" Xia Qi answered, wanting to liven up the atmosphere.

Maldini Jr. and Xia Qi shared their hearts and joked along Xia Qi's mind: "Xia Qi, the head is just screaming in fright, not crying. Then you secretly change the head into a pair of underwear, and we will block the media's sight!"

"Haha! Hahaha!"

Gattuso lightly kicked the two of them, slapped the players' butts one by one and pushed them into the field...

Emery looked at Gattuso enviously. Like Gattuso, he also encouraged the players. Why do other players laugh?

"Friends in the audience, welcome to watch the 2018-2019 UEFA Europa League final, we will broadcast live for you in Baku."

"After 90 minutes of exciting competition, AC Milan and Arsenal drew 2:2. Then they will go through 30 minutes of overtime to decide the winner. If there is still a tie, the game will enter the cruelest penalty shootout."

-
In the first half of extra time, it was Arsenal who kicked off!
They took advantage of the kick-off and launched a swift attack on AC Milan's goal.

With Arsenal replaced by three new players, their offense has become very active.

Arsenal's idea was to try to knock down their opponents in the first half.

Due to physical reasons, players will feel more and more bulky, and it will be difficult for the trailing side to equalize the score, so whoever can score early will be closer to victory.

Arsenal's newcomer Willock is full of energy and breaks through with the ball. After cutting inside, he sends a through ball.

Aubameyang received the ball forward, but due to the decline in physical fitness, he couldn't pick up the speed. Seeing the chasing soldiers approaching,

But the goal was still far away, and he couldn't guarantee the success rate of the shot, so he staggered and sent the football to the side, and Lacazette was there. After receiving the ball, he shot directly from the corner of the penalty area.

Football hits the side netting....
Although he didn't score, it also scared the AC Milan fans.During this period of time, Arsenal's offensive has become increasingly fierce. Many people are really worried that their team will not be able to withstand it.

Arsenal continued to bombard indiscriminately.

"Mr. Gattuso still has two substitutions, why not use them? You see Arsenal are alive and well?"

"It should be the thickness of the bench. Physical strength in such a final is only a small decisive factor. What is more important is the ability of the players. It is obvious that Mr. Gattuso trusts his main force more."

In the 98th minute, Arsenal got a corner kick from Xhaka, and Donnarumma, who was attacked, hit it with his hands.

But the football landed outside the box and didn't fly far.After Iwobi stopped the football, he kicked a long shot...high.

In the 100th minute, Arsenal launched an attack from the right. Xhaka dribbled the ball into the penalty area and passed the football back near the bottom line. Aubameyang in the penalty area was originally unmarked. He also swung his foot to shoot.

But when the ball did roll, he feinted and let the ball slip through his crotch.

This was really beyond the expectations of AC Milan's defensive players. They could only watch helplessly as the football was missed to the top of the free throw arc, where Iwobi stepped forward to keep up, and directly faced the ball with a powerful and heavy shot.

The football was pressed well this time, and there was no anti-aircraft fire.

But Donnarumma once again performed bravely. He lunged sideways and blocked Iwobi's heavy shot from the bottom line with both fists.

"Aubameyang! Oh! Beautiful! It's Iwobi! Goaaaaaaal! Oh, what a pity!" The England commentator mobilized the fans' emotions with his voice.

"Iwobi, who just came on the field, was very active. He took a shot! He was blocked by Donnarumma. It seems that Donnarumma has come out of the shadow of the butter hand." Noy was different, and the commentary was very calm.

Seeing this scene, many people couldn't help but have a thought in their hearts: If this continues, maybe Arsenal's goal will appear soon...

That's what Noy thinks, he's really worried about AC Milan.

In the first half of overtime, Arsenal basically beat AC Milan unilaterally. AC Milan trembled and had no power to fight back!

Under such circumstances, who doesn't worry about the Milanese?

Open the network, there is a barrage of our factory's mighty, gunman's domineering...
The AC Milan fans were all wilted, just like the fans at the scene, all staring at their goals nervously.

On the contrary, the Arsenal fans opened their arms and sang the team anthem...

However, AC Milan is tenacious, like a towering cliff, no matter how big the waves are rolled up, or how painful it is to be slapped on the body, it is still firm.

Time passed little by little under the prayers of the Milan fans, and the first half was about to end, and Arsenal got a free kick in the backcourt.

All the Arsenal players rushed up the pitch, knowing their chances were running out.

Captain Xhaka took a free kick and he kicked the football forward.

The football flew high in the air, like a rainbow about to fall in the AC Milan penalty area.
